Hello fellas,

So I don't know what this "count" thing is about exactly (probably a new strain of the flue...) but it's proliferating around here!

Anyhow, here's the real deal:

Please don't say it if you already know the trick!

I will give a suite of numbers and I have a rule in my head. Your goal is to find that rule by proposing me numbers that could continue the suite and fit the rule. I'll tell you if it's right or not. You can also obviously propose what you think is my rule. This is a very interesting and educative exercise I've learned in my psychology class. I'll explain further why when the answer is found. Here is my suite:

2, 4, 8...

Good probability to you!

That is the riddle!

Nope, not over 'til you've found the parameters of my rule!
No clue. Don't know how you can get an odd result from even pattern unless you keep subtracting 1 as the number gets greater which is a different pattern therefore, the premise changed which deleted original premise. I'm all ears, explain.

Already willing to give up?

Remember this is not your usual suite deduction, this is a riddle. You should re-read the clues I gave in my first post and my comments.

Here's an another clue: perhaps you're not looking for the right thing and remember, "things are not always as they appear".

Ne-ope, that isn't my rule!

You could try more venturesome numbers and see what happens?
Really, O.k. will work on that lol not certain where you are going with this...
perhaps I will know ..O.k. hummm are you changing the rule or saying go backward lol I'll think about this...

Don't worry, I'm not that cruel!:satisfied:

None of the negatives work, the two positives do however.
